Inspection summary
AV Food Zone has been inspected 4 times by Interior Health Authority since February 24, 2023. The most recent inspection, on September 17, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
2 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 5 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Food temperature control and Cleaning and sanitizing.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 17, 2026. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded once on October 21, 2025. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded once on October 21, 2025. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded once on October 21, 2025. For example:
1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

My husband and I got the fully loaded ice cream basket, and it was worth it. The price felt fair for how much ice cream and how many sweets came with it. Each basket was creative and had its own little goodies, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend.

This Deli is a little gem. We had Peppery Paneer pizza, samosa, and pastry last weekend and they were delicious. I have also tried their other veggie pizza which was fabulous - Loved their herbal dough a lot! Hardworking owners present special Indian-style pizza as well as other Asian fusions for the neighborhood and WL~ can't wait to order again!

Had the pepperoni pizza with paneer and the ginger beef noodles. All was very good! The pizza was next level homemade with this unbeatable cheese crisp and flavour. I also didn’t get a stomach ache after 👌🏻 anyone wanting to try the food should definitely go in and do so!
